1.7.1. Outline why documentation is needed at each stage of the systems life cycle.
The documentation, more specifically, the system documentation will include any details on how the system was designed and developed. Documentation is needed at each stage of the system life cycle to mainly make the job of the systems analyst currently working on the system and any other which, in the future will work on the system, easier.
1.7.2. Explain the features of documentation for design, programming and maintenance, that is, system documentation.
